According to the included instructions, the Chick Corea Mark V Rhodes Voices are located in the FILE at the following location:
USER 4 Voices: 001-016.
_ Place the "Chick'~1.X3A" File in the root directory of a USB stick that you use with your MOXF.
Press [FILE]
Set the File TYPE = 1 BANK VOICE
Highlight the Chick'~1.X3A file
Mark the box "[x] With Sample"
We will redirect the load intended for the Motif XF's USER 4 bank to USER 1, 2 or 3 of your MOXF. (As explained above, the MOXF has no USER 4 bank, necessitating this redirection)
Press [ENTER]
You will see the 5 Folders of the original FILE
Highlight "USER 4" in the column on the right side (It contains the 16 new Voices)
Move the cursor to the LEFT and set the target as USR1, USR2 or USR3 in your internal MOXF. (USR1 is shown)
Press [SF1] EXEC to execute
This will load all the VOICES from USER 4 Bank of the FILE to your MOXF USER Bank 1. When
loading this Library with Waveforms it will take approximately 40 minutes to "burn" the data to a Flash Board. Once you determine that you will "keep" a Waveform set, you never have to wait for this data to transfer Again. The initial installation is a lengthy process. This is normal.
Now that you have customized your WAVEFORM data on your FLASH BOARD, you must make a BACKUP file of your data. The fact that you redirected the Chick Corea data to your Flash board, needs to be documented in a MOXF ALL data file to back up your work. Do so.
From now on you would use your file (not the Motif XF File).
Alternate Method: Loading Individual VOICES from an ALL data File
The most efficient way for a MOXF Owner to load this Motif XF data is as follows:
Place the .X3A File in the root directory of a USB stick that you use with your MOXF.
Decide ahead of time which 16 VOICES you wish to overwrite in your current USER 1, USER 2 or USER 3 banks. When you first encounter a MOXF, data in USER 1, 2 and 3 Banks are simply repeats of data found elsewhere in the Presets Banks... So feel free to overwrite any of these locations.
The Chick Corea Mark V Rhodes Voices are located in the FILE at the following location:
USER 4 Voices: 001-016.
Lets say you decide to load the VOICE data to the first 16 locations of USER 1 in your MOXF.
What this means in layman's terms:
Data in the Motif XF FILE originating at USER 4:001(A01) will be directed to USER 1:001(A01).
This can be done one VOICE at a time as follows:
__SOURCE__ -> DESTINATION
USER 4:001 -> USER 1:001
USER 4:002 -> USER 1:002
USER 4:003 -> USER 1:003
USER 4:004 -> USER 1:004
USER 4:005 -> USER 1:005
USER 4:006 -> USER 1:006
USER 4:007 -> USER 1:007
USER 4:008 -> USER 1:008
USER 4:009 -> USER 1:009
USER 4:010 -> USER 1:010
USER 4:011 -> USER 1:011
USER 4:012 -> USER 1:012
USER 4:013 -> USER 1:013
USER 4:014 -> USER 1:014
USER 4:015 -> USER 1:015
USER 4:016 -> USER 1:016
Press [FILE]
Press [F3] LOAD
Set TYPE = VOICE
Move the CURSOR into the DIRECTORY (right side of the screen) and highlight the CHICK'~1.X3A file
Make sure the "WITH WAVEFORM" is marked.
Press [ENTER] to 'open' the FILE
You will see the five FOLDERS: USER 1, USER 2, USER 3, USER 4, USER DRUM
Highlight the "USER 4" Folder (The unique VOICE data for this Library is contained in the USER 4 Folder)
Press ENTER to view data in the Motif XF USER 4 FOLDER... you will see a list of 128 VOICES that occupy the File's USER 4 Folder.
The Chick Corea Mark V Rhodes Voices occupy the first 16 locations.
Highlight the first Voice in the list: "Chick's Mark V"
Move the cursor to the LEFT side and select the Target DESTINATION
Set the Destination to USER 1:001
Press [SF1] EXEC to execute.
The VOICE will be loaded to USER 1:001(A01) of your internal MOXF - overwriting the current data in "USR1:001(A01) Everlasting Glory"
The VOICE data will be placed into USER 1:001(A01) and the Waveform and its Samples will be installed on your Flash Board (The Voice data will be converted to MOXF format, then the audio data will be installed.
The installation of audio to the FLASH BOARD will take some time for the first Voice: Approximately 40 minutes!!!)... Please use this time to either relax or do another activity: A watched pot seems to take much longer to boil than if you get involved with something else during this time. The screen will indicated that data is being installed on the Flash Memory Expansion Module. Do not interrupt it. Do not conclude it is not working. DO note the time on the clock - 40 minutes will seem like forever only if you are watching the pot boil. All 16 of the Chick Voices use this same data - so the other Voices will take only seconds to load. Be patient. Flash does mean quick - but it does not refer to this BURNING (installation process). Flash means quick in that when you press a key and demand as many as 128 channels of audio from any of these samples, the MOXF's Flash Board will access this data in nanoseconds... in a flash.
When complete (all 400MB of Waveforms/Samples will be installed),
You can setup to load the second VOICE... Simply move the cursor to the LIST on the Right and select "002"; Then move the cursor to the Left side and set the target to USR1:002(A02).
Since the Waveforms and Samples are already in place (and your MOXF "knows" it) this second Voice will load very fast, as will the rest of them...
An important thing to learn here is:
Because the data is all coming from the same Source File, the MOXF knows that the second Voice uses the same Waveforms and Samples as the first Voice and does not duplicate its work, it simply repoints the second Voice to the same Waveform List location it placed the data of the first Voice. So the VOICE parameters load in about 2 seconds. What this means is anytime you need a VOICE that uses the Chick Corea data, that data is semi-permanently installed on your FLASH BOARD. This means loading VOICEs you made that use that data will only take sesonds... not minutes.
Continue to direct the USER 4 Voices to the corresponding locations in USER 1 of your MOXF... 003 to USR1:003(A03) and so on.
POST SCRIPT:
When you have loaded all 16 of the Voices and played each to verify they are sounding properly, make a BACKUP ALL data file (.X6A) - this is critical and the most important step... Because not only is this now going to make a fully compatible MOXF file, it will contain unique information about exactly where it placed your Waveforms!
You will no longer use the Motif XF (.X3A) file. By creating a new File, it will be in native MOXF file format which will allow you to have the proper number of USER Folders for your instrument. Every ALL data (.X6A) and/or ALL VOICE data (.X6V) you create will automatically include YOUR unique Waveform List. Even if you opt to Save "without Samples", the Waveforms (instructions for where to find the Samples) are always written to the file. Because the Sampled audio is archived (burned) to the Flash Board, loading in just the Voice data is quick and efficient.
